Tiger Woods playing in The Players

Tiger Woods has committed to THE PLAYERS, May 9-15, 2011, at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

THE PLAYERS 2011 marks the 10-year anniversary of Tiger Woods' victory in 2001 (well remembered for the "Better Than Most" birdie putt from 60 feet on No. 17), and Woods will arrive at TPC Sawgrass for his first start on the PGA TOUR since finishing T4 last month at the Masters Tournament.

He was scheduled to compete at the Wells Fargo Championship but was unable to do so due to injury. Woods has never missed the cut in 13 career appearances at THE PLAYERS. He withdrew six holes into the final round in 2010 with a neck injury after carding rounds of 70-71-71 over the first three days.
